Here are the cons: A living trust is more complex and typically more costly to set up, and you must retitle your assets in the name of the trust, which is also time-consuming. It doesnt offer any estate tax benefits or special asset protection.
If protecting your home from future legal or financial troubles is a priority, this could be a major reason to consider a trust. In Massachusetts, certain irrevocable trusts can also be used for MassHealth (Medicaid) planning, potentially protecting assets from long-term costs.
The average cost of establishing a living trust typically ranges from $1,500 to $2,500, depending on factors such as complexity and the types of assets involved in the estate planning process.
Married couples have a very simple technique available to avoid the Massachusetts estate tax. It is possible for married couples to use a tax shelter that is known as a credit shelter trust or a by-pass trust. These tax shelters are typically built into a revocable trust.
The disadvantages of a living trust can include the complex and costly process of establishing a trust, the lack of ability to name a guardian for a minor or incapacitated child or dependent, and the lack of tax benefits for a revocable living trust.
